MIR. ReImont's spl.

Mt. Belmont's bill empowering the Prest-
dent to retaliate in case Canadian perseen-
tion Of our vessels Is continued, is an ex-
ceedingly drastic measure. 1t not only au-
thorizes the President to refuse to Canadian
vessels privileges in our ports which are de-
MED our vessels in the ports ofthe Dominion.
but what would be vastly more far-reaching
In its consequences, it empowers him to stop
trains on Canadian railroads at the Canadian
border and to refuse them entrance into this
country. Practically 1t enables him BY
stroke Of his pen to cut off all commercial
intercourse between this country and the
Dominion.
II is pretty radical remedy which this
bill proposes, and one which could not be ap-
piled without causing good deal of incon-
venience to some sections Of the United
States. Portland certainly would be severe
sufferer II Canadian railroads could not run
their cars across the border. But the
effect Of such an embargo as Mr.. Belmont
proposes would be so disastrous to Ca
madam interests, especially to their great
lines Of railroads, which without the priyi-
legs Of running their trains into the United
States would be practically paralyzed, that it
is hardly possible that the intolerant spirit
which the Canadians are now exhibit
Ing would manifest itself in action after the
issuance Of the Presidents proclamation.
The Canadians do not sufficiently appreciate
the privileges which they are securing from
the United States. In the face of our
general policy that the commerce between
our States shall be kept in the hands
OF our citizens and our home corporations
Canadian railroads are allowed TO partici-
pate in 1t on equal terms withour OWE roads.
From this traffic some Of tho Canadian lines.
notably the Grand Trunk, derive a great por-
tion Of their revenues A threat to deprive
them Of these privileges will, no doubt, .wak-
en- the Canadians to realizing sense Of their
value. and speedily convince them that the
United States has it in its power to inflict
upon them damage immeasurably greater
than results to us from the petty and
spiteful prosecutions of American fish
ing vessels along their Atlantic coast.
Our government has been exceedingly
forbearing In regard to what Secretary
Manning in his recent letter to Congress
\ properly characterized as the brutal exclu-
sion Of American fishing vessels from Cana
dian ports" We have put up with II year
without retaliation. We have had recourse
TO diplomacy TO settle the dispute on
sems fair and equitable basis. Yet
settlement seems as far off as ever. The
Canadian government is buying new cruis-
ers TO pursue and harass our vessels, and
constructing new acts to make their seizure

Pie Hon. Simon S. Brown and several
other members of the Democratic State
Committee were in the city last night and
in consultation. Precisely what they were
up to we cannot say. The ex-chairman was
non-communicative. There is no political
campaign for two years so the meeting could
not have related to that. The probability is
that raid on some fourth-class post Office
up in the county is contemplated and the
great men were called together to consult
about it. This view gets strong support
from the fact that during the evening the
Hon. w. II. Clifford. who has been very
successful iu gobbling up small offices for
his friends, was called in. We expect to
hear soon that Mr. Brown and Mr.. Clifford
have gone TO Washington.

Our esteemed Lewiston contemporary has
experienced rude awakening. For several
months past il has been vigorously pursuing
the rum fsnd In Portland and Cape Eliza
beth in blissful ignorance apparently of the
fact that the iend was domiclled right under
its own nsse. Monday man was iostled by
the crowd in the Lewiston court house, pur-
sued into the street and finally assaulted and
beaten because he had testified against a
run seller. The scales have now fallen from
our contemporary's eyes and it calls Justify
for an old fashioned temperance revival. 1t
Is to be hoped 1t win continue to shout until
IL gets one.

and condemnation more speedy and effec-
tive. The only recourse left us, unless we
are to sit supinel, by and allow the perform
ance OF last summer to be repeated, is to
adopt some such measure as this proposed by
Mr.. Belmont, That will speedily bring the
Canadians to their senses.

The first ballot for Senator in the Massa-
ehusetts Legislature yesterday must have
been surprise to all the candidates except
Gen. Collins, who had reason to expect the
full Democratic vote and gotit. The inference
frsm the anxiety of Gov. Longs friends for
caucus was that he could control it. or at least
could lead the other candidates. But in the
legislature he falls considerably behind Mr..
Dawes and is only ten ahead of ex-Gov Rob-
inssn, who Is not actively a candidate. No
one OF the Republican candidates, however,
comes within gunshot Of the number re-
Quired to elect. A long and tedious confess
seems to be inevitable

DR.. McGlyna's parlshioners are allowing

provo very embarrassing to him.

A RUM CURSED CITY
Lewiston Journal.

The ruffianly attack ON witness in a
liquor case, made at the Maine Central sta
symptom of the growth of the liquor power
in.this city. 1t is high time that some law
and order movement took grip of the stu
alton and that something be done toipreyent
the escape of the guilty. 1t will be strange
ted in open day IN a Maine city and and the
guilty man escape. II something were need
ed to arouse the friends Of temperance and
order to consciousness of the peril to which
the material and moral prosperity of our city
is exposed, 1t would seem that bulldozing
deed Of amazing impudence ought TO be that
awakener. We want to see an old fashioned
temperance movement in this city that shall
arouse the public conscience and prosecute
that moral and that legal suasion which to-
aether the rum power in the past has re-
sisted in vain.

Representative Fogg presented in the
House yesterday resolve looking to tho
submission to the people Of an amendment
to the constitution comforting on women the
right Of suffrage in this State. 1t would
seem that this was so reasonable and just a
proposition that no objection would be
urged against it. Ours is a republican form
Of government In which the will of the
people 10 supreme. and this is simply propo-
sition to discover in the most practical man
ner what tho VIII of the people is as regards
this particular question. Mr.. Fogg's reso-
luton is supported by a large number of citi-
zsns Of Maine. who ask thatit may be adopt
cd. For the Legislature to refuse would. it
seems to US, amount to an assertion on their
part that they are superior to tae people and
shat they have a right to decide for the
people what the people want to decide for
themselves. This woman's suffrage move
ment is not craze or sudden freak of lot
Of scranks, but is the result of deep seated
esnviction en- the part Of many Of the most in
telligent people in theicommunity that women
should have voice in making the laws
which they are compelled to obey, and in
spending the money which they are COM
pslled to contribute.

tainly no charge Of that kind can be made
against Missouri. She points with pride to
the fact that she is about to elect Mr. Cock

II the Indiana Democrats had particle of
gratitude in their composition they would
not have passed over the able and distin-
gnished men Of their party and nominated
David Turpie for the Senatorship. Turpie
may be great man, bat his fame has not
extended beyond the borders of his
State. and if his influence had been the
only reliance of the hungry and thirs-
ty Hoosiers, they never would have
got so many postofices and collector
ships. Ths men who have borne the burden
AID heat 81 the day are Joe Mcdonald and
gAobJeefor Holman. These men had deserved
well Of their fellow Hoosiers, and it was up
on one Of them that the Senatorial mantle
should have fallen. But this is not the first
evidence Of theungratefulnes of the Indiana
Democracy. The Democrats of no State in
-shs Union have got so liberal share of the
spoils, and yet the Democrats of no state
have so vigorously cursed the President.
